A  Biographical  Sketch  of  Professor  March. 


rRANCIS  ANDREW  MARCH,  Sr..  was  born  in  the  village  of  Millbury.  Mass..  October  25,  1825.  In  his 
boyhood  he  evinced  a  decided  taste  for  literature,  and,  his  ambitions  being  fostered,  he  improved  his  oppor- 
tunities so  well  that  in  1845  he  was  graduated  from  Amherst  College,  v/hich  in  1848  bestowed  upon  him 
the  degree  of  A.  M.  He  entered  upon  the  study  of  law,  and  was  admitted  to  the  bar  in  1850,  but  ill  health 
compelled  him  to  give  up  an  excellent  practice,  whereupon  he  turned  to  his  favorite  studies, philosophy,  language 
and  literature,  in  which  he  very  soon  gained  permanent  fame  among  colleges  and  learned  persons  of  both  Europe 
and  America.  In  1870  the  degree  of  LL.D.  was  conferred  upon  him  by  Princeton,  and  in  1871  by  Amherst. 
In  1887  Columbia  honored  him  with  the  degree  of  L.H.D.,andin  1396  he  received  from  Oxford,  England, 
the  title  of  D.C.L.,and  from  Cambridge,  England,  and  also  from  Princeton,  the  same  year,  the  very  distin- 
guished degree  of  Litt.D. 

Professor  March  was  called  to  the  chair  of  English  Language  and  Comparative  Philology  of  Lafayette 
College,  in  1857.  which  he  has  ever  since  occupied  despite  offers  from  the  greatest  colleges  of  the  world.  He 
is  a  pioneer  in  the  study  of  English  Classics  and  English  Literature,  and  is  regarded  as  the  first  authority  living 
on  derivation,  spelling,  definition  and  grammar,  and  as  a  linguist  he  has  had  no  equal  since  thi  death  of  Max 
Miiller.  He  was  elected  president  of  the  American  Philological  Association  in  1873.  and  again  in  1896,  and  has 
served  as  president  of  the  Spelling  Reform  Association  since  its  organization  in  1876.  He  succeeded  James 
Russell  Lowcii  as  president  of  the  Modern  Language  Association  of  America,  in  1891 ;  is  Vice-President  of  the 
New  Shakspere  Society,  London,  and  an  honorary  member  of  the  Philological  Society,  Lcndon,  and  L'Associ- 
ation  Fonetique  de  Professeurs  de  Langues  Vivants,  Paris.  He  is  also  Senator  of  Phi  Beta  Kappa,  member 
of  the  National  Council  of  Education,  of  the  American  Philosophical  Society,  and  cf  the  American  Antiquariaa 
Society,  and  Chairman  of  the  Pennsylvania  Commission  on  Amended  Orthography.  Since  1879  Prof: 
March  is  Director  of  American  Readers  for  the  Oxford  (Murray's),  England,  Dictionary,  the  greatest  v 
cf  the  kind  ever  undertaken,  and  is  consulting  editor  of  the  Standard  Dictionary. 

Professor  March  is  the* author  of  many  educational  works  that  are  used  as  text  books  in  rl.    ,

A  Foreword  by  Professor  March 


In  London,  1 852,  appeared  o  volume  entitled,  "Thesaurus  of  English  Words  and 
Phrases,  Classified  and  Arranged  so  as  to  Facilitate  the  Expression  of  Ideas  and  Assist  in 
Literary  Composition,  by  Peter  Mark  Roget,  M.  D.,  F.  R.  S."  It  was  intended  to  supply  a 
collection  of  the  words  and  idiomatic  combinations  of  the  English  language,  "  arranged, 
not  in  alphabetical  order  as  they  are  in  a  dictionary,  but  according  to  the  ideas  which  they 
express,"  so  that  any  one  who  has  an  idea  may  here  find  the  word  or  words  by  which  it 
may  be  most  fitly  and  aptly  expressed.  This  book  has  been  for  half  a  century  a  familiar 
part  of  the  machinery  used  by  authors,  preachers,  lecturers  and  the  like.  The  number  of 
sych  persons  has  lately  increased  rapidly.  Writing  also  fills  a  larger  place  in  our  schemes 
of  education.  The  students  of  our  universities  have  little  time  for  Socratic  dialogue ;  they 
hand  in  essays  day  by  day,  and  close  their  careers  with  original  theses  as  heavy  as  articles 
in  the  quarterlies.  Mr.  J.  W.  Buel,  who  has  proved  himself  to  be  an  accurate  observer  of 
the  needs  of  the  book-buying  public,  and  who  has  long  used  Roget,  has  thought  that  its 
material  may  be  prepared  and  supplemented  for  a  wider  sphere,  and  has  accordingly  set 
on  foot  the  preparation  of  the  present  volume. 

The  first  shortcoming  in  Roget  is  that  there  are  no  definitions  of  the  words  or 
explanations  of  the  phrases.  The  book  is  really  an  index  of  words  to  be  looked  up  in 
dictionaries  and  cyclopedias,  unless  one  comes  to  it  with  his  mind  thoroughly  stored  with 
words  and  meanings.  Besides  the  single  words  there  are  collected  phrases,  kennings,  and 
longer  familiar  quotations  in  English  and  foreign  languages.  These  are  all  helpful  to  the 
literary  worker.  There  has  been  a  great  accumulation  of  them  in  the  latest  dictionaries,  in 
the  Century,  the  Standard,  and  in  the  Oxford  Dictionary.  The  Standard  has  gone  farthest 
in  the  collection  of  groups  of  words,  giving,  for  example,  groups  of  names  of  apples,  and  coins, 
and  structures,  and  animals.  The  Oxford  prints  the  most  numerous  phrases,  and  adds 
quotations  containing  them  which  exhibit  their  biographies.  The  time  seems  ripe  for  a 
Thesaurus,  bringing  together  groups  of  them,  accompanied  by  concise  definitions  giving  in 
each  group  the  meaning  of  each  word  as  used  in  the  group. 

Then  there  is  difficulty  with  the  machinery  for  finding  any  particular  word  or  phrase. 
Early  vocabularies  often  consist  of  groups  arranged    by  their  ideas.      That  of  iElfric,  a 


tenth  century  Anglo-Saxon  work,  begins  with  farmers'  tools  all  in  o  heap;  then  come  ecclesi- 
astical matters,  then  political,  then  diseases,  then  wild  beasts,  insects,  vessels,  a  room  and  its 
contents,  and  so  on.  Nothing  could  be  done  with  the  materials  of  the  Oxford  Dictionary,  or 
the  Century,  or  Standard,  on  any  soch  plan.  Dictionaries  are  sometimes  arranged  according 
to  a  philological  system.  Ettmiiller 's  Anglo-Saxon  Dictionary  has  the  words  classified  under 
their  roots,  and  the  roots  and  words  arranged  according  to  the  scientific  order  of  the  sounds. 
The  beginner  has  to  master  this  order  of  sounds,  and  then  to  guess  under  what  root  his  word 
belongs — or  rather  under  what  root  Ettmiiller  thinks  it  belongs.  He  has,  in  fact,  to  learn  the 
language  to  its  depths  before  he  can  use  the  dictionary. 

Roget's  arrangement  is  primarily  one  of  nameoble  objects.  "It  is  impossible  we 
should  thoroughly  understand  the  nature  of  the  signs  unless  we  first  properly  consider  and 
arrange  the  things  signified,"  is  his  motto,  taken  from  Home  Tooke's  "  Diversions  of 
Purley."  He  classifies  nameables,  after  the  manner  of  the  English  psychologists,  into  matter, 
mind  (intellect,  volition,  affections),  space  and  abstract  relations,  and  divides  and  subdivides 
these  until  he  makes  out  an  even  thousand  divisions,  and  into  these  he  puts  all  the  words.  In 
order  to  find  any  word  it  was  necessary  to  think  out  in  which  subdivision  its  idea  belongs. 
This  is  worse  than  Ettmiiller.  It  was  necessary  to  add  a  verbal  index,  alphabetically 
arranged,  with  references  to  the  groups  by  number.  It  is  not  easy,  indeed,  to  find  a  word 
after  you  know  the  number  of  its  group,  for  the  group  may  contain  hundreds  of  words  in  no 
manageable  order. 

The  machinery  of  a  serviceable  dictionary  is  found  in  the  alphabet.  The  invention  of 
alphabetic  writing  has  been  often  pronounced  the  most  important  ever  made.  It  is  not  the 
least  of  its  benefits  to  mankind  that  it  affords  the  means  of  making  knowledge  accessible. 
Every  one  knows  the  letters  of  the  alphabet.  If  all  thoughts  are  arranged  under  their  words, 
and  the  words  arranged  in  alphabetic  order,  any  one  can  find  off-hand  any  of  the  million  facts 
and  thoughts  which  are  stored  in  the  dictionary.  The  use  of  the  simple  alphabetic  order  is 
almost  as  important  an  invention  as  the  representation  of  words  by  single  signs  of  their 
elementary  sounds. 

The  material  of  this  Thesaurus  has  been  brought  to  alphabetic  order.  Our  publisher 
suggested  that  it  be  called  a  THESAURUS  DICTIONARY,  believing  that  the  word 
"Thesaurus"  will  easily  assume  the  meaning  of  groups,  and  "Dictionary"  that  of  alphabetic 
arrangement. 

In  using  the  THESAURUS  DICTIONARY,  look  up  any  word  connected  with  your  sub- 
ject in  its  alphabetic  place  in  the  vocabulary  list  in  larger  black  type,  exactly  as  in  a  com- 
mon dictionary.  Anger,  for  example,  is  found  thus  on  page  45.  It  is  there  briefly  defined  as 
a  violent  passion,  and  two  groups  to  which  it  belongs  are  then  mentioned  in  small  capitals, 
Excitability-Inexcitability  and  Favorite-Anger.  To  study  the  first  group  torn 
to  excitability-inexcitability  in  its  alphabetical  place  in  the  general  vocabulary, 
page  372.  There,  under  this  heading,  are  two  parallel  columns,  the  left-hand  for  excita- 
bility, the  right  for  inexcitability,  each  running  on  for  a  couple  of  pages  and  bringing 


.  _J 


together  some  one  hundred  and  fifty  words  and  phrases.  These  are  divided  into  noons, 
verbs,  verbal  phrases,  adjectives,  etc.,  arranged  in  alphobetic  order.  The  first  column 
contains  all  words  and  phrases  naturally  associated  according  to  the  laws  of  similarity, 
contiguity  and  comprehension.— synonyms  and  the  like;  the  second  column  contains  a  similar 
group  related  to  the  first  column  according  to  the  law  of  contrast,— antonyms,  polar  opposites, 
and  the  like.  By  means  of  cross-references,  other  groups  of  associated  meaning  are 
brought  to  the  attention. 

A  large  collection  of  groups  like  these,  printed  without  alphabetic  order  and  without 
definitions,  notes  or  comments,  constitutes  the  Thesaurus  of  Roget  or  the  Dictionnaire  Ide'o- 
logique  of  Robertson.  It  is  obvious  that  this  is  really  an  index  of  words  to  be  studied  in  other 
dictionaries,  unless  the  student  be  thoroughly  stored  beforehand  with  words  and  meanings. 

An  attempt  has  been  made  in  this  volume  to  give  the  less  accomplished  student 
further  help  in  his  handling  of  the  groups,  and  his  use  of  them  for  original  work.  In 
the  first  place  the  words  and  phrases  are  defined.  The  dictionaries  try  first  to  state,, 
with  exactness  and  clearness,  the  thought  for  which  each  word  stands.  The  student  of  lit- 
erature or  oratory  knows  that  putting  together  these  dictionary  definitions  does  not  give  the 
full  force  of  the  great  passages.  When  words  are  idiomatically  put  together,  the  combination 
is  not  agglutinative;  relations  between  the  words  appear,  and  the  result  is  not  a  mechanical 
compound,  but  chemical,  or,  rather,  vital,  especially  when  the  melody  of  the  voice  is  added. 

The  definition  is  an  idea,  a  solid  intellectual  center;  the  emotions  which  have  been  felt 
with  it  rise  in  memory  with  it,  and  give  it  an  aureole,  a  halo,  a  nimbus,  a  glory,  spheres  of 
radiance.  A  word  is  thus  a  living  power,  with  an  individuality  embodied  in  its  root  and 
affixes.  It  has  a  history;  it  has  a  character  derived  from  its  history.  Every  familiar  phrase  in 
which  it  occurs,  every  great  passage  in  literature  in  which  it  is  found,  every  great  occasion  with 
which  it  is  associated,  every  honored  name  with  which  it  is  connected  adds  to  its  charm. 
Every  happy  phrase  in  Gray's  "Elegy  in  a  Country  Churchyard"  adds  to  the  charm 
of  every  other.  Every  resonant  word  in  the  Declaration  of  Independence,  or  in  Webster's 
Speech  for  Liberty  and  Union,  has  new  power,  and  when  the  great  orator  repeats  the  magic 
words  of  Milton  and  Shakespeare  he  redoubles  their  harmonies.  Every  kind  of  favorable 
influence  combines  to  strengthen  and  beautify  the  moving  idiom  of  our  English  Bible. 

In  order  to  aid  workers  in  literature  to  perceive  and  enjoy  these  associations,  the  defi- 
nitions here  given  are  often  turned  so  as  to  suggest  the  original  thought  of  the  word,  the 
beginning  of  its  history,  especially  if  it  is  derived  from  the  name  of  some  person  or  place  worthy 
of  renown.  In  the  group  of  words  we  have  mentioned  under  Excitability  are  Quixo- 
tism, chivalry  run  mad  in  amiable  madness,  as  in  "Don  Quixote"  of  Cervantes;  Agony, 
like  that  of  a  wrestler  in  the  Olympic  games;  Patience  on  a  monument,  defined  as 
"smiling  at  grief,"  and  given  its  Shakespearian  grace  by  reference  to  "Twelfth  Night" 
si,  4.  There  is  Stoicism,  dignifying  the  "Stoic  of  the  Woods,  the  man  without  a  tear," 
in  Campbell's  "Gertrude  of  Wyoming,"  and  there  are  Chaucer's  "making  a  virtue  of 
necessity;"  Inextinguishable  laughter  of  the  gods,  from  Homer,  "Iliad  I,  268"; 
Volcanic,    like    the    chimney    of    the    forge    of    Vulcan ;    the    Bible's    itching    ears; 


Shakespeare's  itching  palm ;  Mens  aequa  in  arduis,  "  equanimity  in  difficulties," 
the  trait  of  Warren  Hastings  recorded  on  his  portrait  at  Calcutta. 

In  the  reign  of  Queen  Anne  Englishmen  spoke  of  living  in  the  Augustan  age  of  the  Eng- 
lish language;  they  thought  it  had  reached  perfection,  and  they  wanted  a  dictionary  that 
should  record  the  words  then  in  use  and  be  a  standard  for  future  generations.  Dr.  Johnson's 
great  dictionary  was  widely  accepted  as  such  a  standard.  Authors  of  eminence  were  careful 
not  to  use  any  word  not  in  Johnson.  Critics  pounced  upon  every  writer  who  strayed  from  the 
standard.  Slang  was  deadly  sin.  The  golden  age  was  to  be  kept  pure  from  it  forever. 
There  are  still  survivors  of  this  period.  Not  long  ago  the  "  Sunday  School  Times "  sent 
out  an  inquiry  about  tireless  and  some  eminent  authors  answered  that  they  had  thought 
it   good,  but  since  it  was  not  in  Worcester  or  Webster,  they  would  not  use  it. 

But  we  have  changed  all  that.  We  see  that  a  language  must  change  with  each  genera- 
tion. If  it  is  to  live  it  must  be  supplied  with  a  constant  inflow  of  new  words,  of  which  a  vital 
part  comes  from  the  feeling  and  imagination  of  persons  who  utter  themselves  in  slang.  A 
living  language  is  a  lake  from  which  there  is  a  constant  flow  of  words  to  the  ocean  of  oblivion, 
and  which  has  a  constant  supply  from  the  fountain  of   popular  talk. 

During  the  last  half  century  more  new  words  and  phrases  have  poured  into  the 
English  language  than  in  any  century  before ;  new  arts  and  new  sciences  have  swollen 
the  inflow.  In  this  volume  many  new  words  will  be  found  added  to  the  old  groups, 
and  a  number  of  new  groups  have  been  gathered,  chiefly  words  of  the'  expanding  sciences, 
such  as  biology,  chemistry,  and  electricity.  These  we  cordially  commend  to  the  atten- 
tion and  use  of  all  students. 

Those  who  may  find  expressions  which  they  recognize  as  living  slang  worthy  of 
longer  life,  we  advise  to  use  it  with  some  token,  as  Lord  Bacon  does,  when  he  says,  "  It 
is  a  doll  thing  to  tire,  and,  as  we  say  now,  to  jade  anything  too  far."

PUBLISHER'S  PREFACE 


Of  the  making  of  hooks  there  is  no  limit,  but  like  the  great  numbers  of  fish  in  the  sea,  it  is 
the  comparatively  few  that  arc  worth  the  taking.  The  most  valuable  are  those  that  give  us  the 
most  useful  information,  and  such  as  we  requently  to  consult.     An  encyclopedia  is 

extremely  valuable,  but  it  is  not  so  necessary  for  reference  as  a  dictionary,  nor  is  any  other  book- 
so  beneficial  for  serving  our  daily  needs.  To  livi  withoul  a  dictionary  is  to  be  deprived  of  the 
means  of  understanding  what  we  read,  and,  very  often,  what  we  hear.  It  is,  indeed,  the  indis- 
:         dilc  requisite  oi  every  home. 

Professor  .March's  Thesaurus  Dictionary  is  a  work  produced  by  the  most  fai  e  the 

most  learned,  lexicographer  not  only  of  America,  I  e  world.     The  service  which  Wei 

performed,  in  giving  us  a  good  American  Dictionary,  which  has  sen.  i  large  our  vocabulary 

and  thereby  the  better  qualify  us  to  express  our  thoughl  -  titles  his  memory  to  un- 

fading praise.     But  great  as  was  Webster's  work,  for  the  benefits  named,  that  of  Professor  Ma 

is  .1    I;  rid  no  less  imporl  forward  in  helpful- 

ness to  a  kno  the    English    Language,  for  his  dic- 

tionary not  only   prints  definitions,  but  the  chii  ^e  of 


EMBARRASSMENTS  OF  AN  INADE- 
QUATE VOCABULARY 


his  Thesaurus  is  to  enable  those  who  use  it   I  nee  to  have  at  their  command  the  exact  words 

required  to  definitely  and  forcibly  express  any  idea  they   may  wish   to  convey.     What   man  or 

m,  however  learned  or  experienced,  has  mastered  all,  or  more  than  a  small  fraction,  of  the 
words  that  make  up  the  total  of  the  English  language?  It  is  not  difficult  to  imagine  with  what 
veneration  the  world  would  hold  a  person  who  is  abl  perly  use.  at    will,  every  word  prii 

in  unabridged  dictionaries. 

We  observe  the  small  child  trying  to  express  its  thoughts,  or  longings,  and  smile  at  its  use  of 

inapt  terms  and  its  frequent  repetitions.     The  child  has  as  yet  learned  the  use  of  only  a  few  words, 

ind  this  small  vocabulary  renders  it   necessary  to  make  one  word  serve  several  meanings.     The 

little  knowledge  that  the  child  manifests  is  comparative  only,  for  we  as  often  see  men  of  good 
intelli  of  education  as  well,  who  for  lack  of  an  adequate  vocabulary  halt     repeal   ami 

stumble,  and  make  use  of  words  that  have  small  relevancy,  in  an  effort  to  express  an  idea,  or  describe 
a  fact  or  thing. 

But  the  difficulty  of  always  recalling,  or  knowing  the  right  word  needed  to  convey  exactly  our 
thoug   I  >ne  which  even  the  most  fluent  speakers  and  1  t  lucid  writers  encounter  with  such 

frequenc;    that  search  for  the  one  word  particularly  desired  for  the  occasion  occupies  so  much  of 
their  time  that  their  minds    are   kept  upon  a  great  strain;    or,  as  Richard  Le  Gallienne  has  de- 
ed, "the  search  often  becomes  something  like  a  tragedy."      Indeed,  it  is  said  that  Flaubert,  one 
of  the  most  exact  of  French  writers,  sacrificed  his  life  in  the  ardent  pursuit  of  particular  w 

ulty  <>f  selecting  proper  words  in  attempts  to  precisely  convey  our  thoughts  toothers 
comes  from  inadequacy  on  the  one  hand,  and  exaggeration  on  the  other.  Ordinarily,  we  may  be 
able  to  make  ourselves  understood,  even  with  a  limited  vocabulary,  but  it  very  frequently  happens, 
even  to  the  most  scholarly,  that  words  are  i  ir  uses  and  situations  both  subtle  and  complex, 

and  then  it  is  that  deficiency  in  word  knowledge  becomes  a  matter  of  intense  irritation. 


The  English  language  is  so  rich  that  for  every  fact  and  feeling  there  is  an  exact  word ;  a  word 
in  shape,  size,  color,  and  sound,  that  absolutely  and  uniquely  embodies  the  fact  and  feeling  one 
desires  to  express.  In  short,  the  "unique,"  or  exact  word,  is  the  very  philosopher's  stone  of  litera- 
ture, and  thus  it  is  that  the  search  for  it  is  a  life-time  pursuit,  followed  with  persistency  and  a 
sense  of  profound  annoyance,  by  all  who  write  or  speak. 

But  the  scholarly  writer,  who  has  more  frequent  occasion  to  employ  unusual  words,  and 
therefore  has  need  for  the  larger  vocabulary,  finds  it  quite  as  difficult  to  express  himself  as  does 
the  ordinary  business  man,  mechanic,  farmer,  or  pupil.  Indeed,  as  our  professions  and  pursuits 
modify  our  educational  requirements,  all  persons  in  the  range  between  the  most  highly  cultured 
and  the  least  educated,  find  equal  difficulty  in  recalling,  on  the  moment,  appropriate  words  neces- 
sary to  express  ideas  with  definiteness. 

For  more  than  four  centuries,  as  several  cumbersome  compilations  of  old  lexicographers 
show,  efforts  have  been  made  to  produce  a  book  that  would  give  immediate  use  of  a  comprehensive 
vocabulary,  but  all  such  works  of  dictionary-makers  were  failures,  so  complete  as  to  be  of  little 
or  no  more  use  than  the  crude  dictionaries  of  the  times  themselves.  It  must  be  apparent  that  such 
a  book,  for  great  usefulness,  must  not  only  contain  an  unabridged  collection  of  related  words,  in 
alphabetical  arrangement,  but  also  the  definition  and  pronunciation  of  each  word,  so  that  when 
found  its  proper  use  is  at  once  determined,  without  need  of  referring  to  a  dictionary  for  an  ex- 
planation of  the  meaning.  All  the  objections  to  previous  compilations  are  removed  by  Professor 
F.  A.  March's  "Thesaurus  Dictionary  of  the  English  Language,"  and  besides  making  his  work  a 
very  marvel  of  word  gathering,  he  has  added  many  relevant  features  which  serve  to  justify  the 
claim  that,  for  its  purposes,  no  book  ever  before  published  exceeds  it  in  practical  value  and  real  im- 
portance. 

The  production  of  a  dictionary  is  an  enterprise  that  necessarily  involves  an  enormous  expendi- 
ture of  money,  and  the  employment  of  the  best  talent  obtain- 
able. But  the  compilation  of  a  Thesaurus  Dictionary  is  a 
superlative  work  of  importance  and  complexity,  which  requires 


PRACTICAL  USEFULNESS  OF  THE 
THESAURUS 


the  very  highest  order  of  learning  and  the  most  critical  accuracy  in  its  several  features  of  spelling, 
pronunciation,  concise  definition,  and  shades  of  difference  in  the  signification  of  related,  or  so-called 
synonymous  terms.  These  attentions  are  extremely  necessary,  as  every  one  must  appreciate, 
but  infinitely  more  exhaustive  and  critical  is  the  labor  of  bringing  together  into  close  and  alpha- 
betical association,  for  prompt  reference,  all  the  words  of  the  English  language  in  their  respective 
relationships  of  significance. 

Webster's  Dictionary  provides  a  means  whereby  we  may  quickly  ascertain  the  meaning  of 
any  word  in  our  language.  Professor  March's  Thesaurus  gives  the  same  knowledge,  but  in  addition 
thereto  it  enables  any  one  to  reclaim  a  word  forgotten ;  to  recover  and  correctly  use  a  word  needed 
to  convey  exactly  an  idea.  Every  day  you  are  vexed  by  vain  efforts  to  recall  a  word,  which 
you  may  kno%v  exists,  that  will  definitely,  precisely,  express  an  idea  which  you  wish  to  convey. 
Everybody  is  troubled  in  the  same  way.  Well,  by  the  quick  aid  of  the  Thesaurus  Dictionary 
you  can  promptly  find  the  needed  word,  quite  as  easy  as  it  is  to  find  the  definition  of  a  given 
word  in  Webster's.  More  than  this  even,  this  Thesaurus  will  suggest  a  word  which  you  may  re- 
quire; to  find  any  term  it  is  necessary  merely  to  refer  to  a  simple  word  that  has  some  relation,  in 
significance,  to  the  idea  sought  to  be  conveyed,  whereupon  you  are  directed,  by  reference  words, 
printed  in  small  capital  letters,  to  the  captions  under  which  will  be  found  all  the  words  that 
have  any  affinity  to  the  subject  in  mind.  This  is  accomplished  by  a  practical  system  of 
alphabetic  grouping  of  all  words  of  our  language  according  to  their  relationships  in  meaning. 

Or,  to  explain  more  lucidly,  a  word  is  taken;  for  example,  let  the  word  be  "Good"  or  "Good- 
ness," page  460.  We  turn  to  this  word  in  its  alphabetical  arrangement,  just  as  in  any  dictionary, 
and  there  we  find  it  given,  with  definition,  but  immediately  following  we  find  also  every  important 
word  in  our  language  that  has  any  relationship  to  "Goodness."  And  besides  the  words  and  defi- 
nitions   under  the  caption   "Goodness"  we  find  also  the  foreign  phrases — all  phonetically  pro- 


nounccd — that  one  is  liable  to  meet  with  in  reading  upon  a  subject  allied  to  "Goodness."  More- 
over, it  will  be  noticed  that  in  the  column  directly  opposite  the  caption  word  is  "Badness,"  or  the 
antithesis  of  "Goodness,"  and  under  that  term  will  be  found  every  important  word  in  our  language 
that  is  associated  with  evil,  together  also  with  the  foreign  phrases  applicable  thereto. 

Thus  it  will  be  observed  that  to  facilitate  the  search  for  particular  words  needed,  this  system 
ol  grouping  all  relati  d  terms  is  perfected  !>\  printing  all  words  alphabetically,  and  also  by  placing 
the  positive  term    with  its  negative  in  parallel  I        ,  in  the  example  given,  Goodness 

is  the  caption  word  of  one  column,  with  all  its  kindred  terms  following,  while  in  the  opposite  parallel 
column,  appears  the  antithetical  caption,  Badness,  with  its  related  terms.  We  will  find  the 
same  i  ateg  TV  of  words  of  related  significance  if  we  refer  to  any  word  that  has  affinity  in  meaning 
for  either  "good"  or  "bad." 

Any  word  followed  up  in  the  Thesaurus  will  serve  to  illustrate  how  this  great  servi 
formed,  and,  for  a  specific  example,  let  us  take  the  positive  and  negative  terms,  "Faith-Mi 
page  389,  and  three  pages  following.      Here  yon  will  find,  under  this  caption,  every  word,  synonym 
and  its  opposite,  that  has  any  relationship,  in  significance,  to  these  two  terms,  a  list  which  1 
350  words  and  phrases.     This  list  is  multiplied  by  following  the  correlated  divisions  ui 
such    captions    as    " Godliness-Ung  ."    page    454;    "Bigotry-Apostasy,"    page    106;     " 

rightness-Dishonesty,"  pagcii23;  "1  .."page    739;     "Carelessness-Skeptici 

page  241;  "Theology,"  page  1058;  "Sanguineness-Hopelessness,"  page  933 ; 

page  719,  etc.  Similarly  there  is  a  complete  list  of  all  kindred  words  pertaining  to  the 
subjects:  "Beauty-Ugliness,"  page  92;  "Creation-Destruction,"  page  237;  "Affluence-Penury," 
page  27;  "Astronomy,"  page  75,  etc.  It  will  be  noticed  also  that  while  all  associated  words  are 
given  alphabetically,  each  one  is  concisel)  0  show  clearly  the  different  shades  of 

meaning,     besides  this,  you  will  find    incorporated  in  the  extensive  category  of  related  terms, 

many  foreign  phrases  duly   translated,  and  that  the  grammati- 
cal analysis  throughout  is  complete.     The  same  systematic

The  man  or  woman  who  writes  for  the  press,  or  who  speaks  in  public,  will  find  the  Thesaurus 
Dictionary  an  aid  of  inestimable  value.     Consultation  of   il  bulary  lists  of  related  terms, 

in  the  search  for  a  word  required  to  express  exactly  a  s^iven  idea,  not  only  results  in  finding  the

edge, for  the  more  wc  know,  either  by  study  or  experience,  IN1  better  qualified  we  become  to 
deal  with  practical  affairs  of  life. 

Students  need  the  Thesaurus  Dictionary  more  than  they  do  any  other  book;  not  becau 
is  a  working  dictionary,  but  especially  becau  ie  il  enables  them  to  write  and  to  speak  with  precision, 
accuracy  and  elegance.  It  qualifies  them,  without  study,  to  prepare  essays,  to  handle  subj 
to  make  themselves  prime  factors  in  public  life;  this  service  it  performs  by  enlarging  their  vocabu-

becomes  imbued  with  the  spirit  of  authorship  is  pretty  certain  to  develop  into  a  person  of  marked

in  the  search  for  a  word  required  to  express  exactly  a  given  idea,  not  only  results  in  finding  the 
definite  term  desired,  but  also  in  suggesting  new  ideas,  for  it  very  often  happens  to  writers  that  a

No  other  book  is  such  a  stimulus  to  the  child  at  school,  and  no  other  confers  so  many  distinct 
benefits.  When  a  pupil  is  required  by  its  teacher  to  prepare  a  composition,  embarrassment  is  great 
because  the  child  has  few  ideas  and  a  knowledge  of  few  words  with  which  to  express  them.  By 
the  aid  of  the  Thesaurus  these  obstacles  to  composition  are  immediately  removed,  for  a  subject 
being  given  by  its  teacher,  the  child  may  turn  to  a  word  related  to  the  subject,  under 
which  it  will  find  at  once  every  word,  with  definition,  that  appertains  in  anywise  to  the  subject 
and  by  so  doing  it  acquires  a  copious  vocabulary  for  its  purpose,  as  well  also  many  new  ideas  that 
are  suggested  by  the  information  thus  obtained.  There  is  no  subject,  whether  simple,  profound, 
technical;  whether  it  concerns  the  animal,  the  vegetable,  or  the  mineral  kingdoms;  whether  it 
touches  upon  science,  social  problems,  political  economy,  faith,  doctrine,  home-life,  marriage, 
affection,  agriculture,  mechanics,  war,  history,  poetry,  school, — in  short  it  matters  not  what  the  sub- 
ject may  be,  by  consulting  this  Thesaurus  the  child  obtains,  almost  at  a  glance,  all  the  words,  and 
very  much  of  the  information,  that  is  needed  to  write  about  it  intelligently.  At  the  same  time 
the  child  also  learns  how  to  construct  its  sentences  grammatically.  This  acquisition  of  a  large 
vocabulary  will  influence  a  majority  of  children  to  aspire  to  authorship,  and  inevitably  lead  to 
investigation  and  scholarship,  an  important  consideration. 

They  are  few  who  understand  the  grammar  of  our  language.  One  may  have  an  extensive 
vocabulary  and  yet  be  unable  to  write  or  speak  correctly.  The  Thesaurus  Dictionary  not  only 
affords  the  means  of  choosing  the  right  word  at  the  right  time,  and  of  giving  complete  mastery  of 
every  term  in  our  language  for  immediate  use,  but  it  also  presents  the  words,  names  the  parts  of 

speech,  gives  concise  definitions  in  every  case,  prints  all  the 
synonyms  and  their  opposites,  and  shows  all  words  and 
phrases  in  their  grammatical  relationships. 


MASTERY  OF  VOCABULARY  AND 
GRAMMAR 


The  English  language  is  a  rapidly  growing  one.  Dr.  Johnson's  Dictionary  contained  nearly  one 
hundred  thousand  words,  whereas  to-day  the  largest  dictionary  has  three  hundred  thousand  words. 
This  rapid  increase  is  due  to  the  incorporation  of  slang  words,  progress,  and  discoveries  in  science,  and 
coinages  by  the  ignorant  no  less  than  by  the  learned.  The  Thesaurus  Dictionary,  being  the  very 
latest  compilation,  contains  all  the  recent  additions,  including  terms  used  in  electricity,  radiography, 
automobiling,  telephony,  science,  signaling,  commerce,  political  economy,  questions  of  the  day;

Every  reader  is  almost  constantly  meeting  with  words  or  phrases  of  foreign  speech,  of  which 
neither  translation  nor  pronunciation  is  given.  This  is  a  matter  of  intense  annoyance  to  persons 
who  cannot  translate  for  themselves,  as  the  use  of  such  interjections  often  destroys  the  sense  of 
connection  in  the  reading.  In  the  Thesaurus  Dictionary  you  will  find  all  such  words  and  phrases, 
in  French,  German,  Spanish,  Italian,  Latin,  Greek,  not  only  fully  translated  but  also  phonetically, 
hence   most   exactly   pronounced. 

The  Thesaurus  Dictionary  of  the  English  Language  is  presented  by  the  publishers 
with  the  sincere  belief  that  its  uniqueness  will  commend  it  less  than  the  real  practical  value  it 
will  be  found  to  afford  all  who  consult  its  pages.  Expense  has  not  been  spared  in  the  prepara- 
tion, either  in  the  compilation  or  mechanical  production,  because  so  great  a  conception  as  the  work 
embodies  is  worthy  the  most  perfect  realization.

A    Key    to    Egyptian    Characters 


The  Rosetta  Stone  contains  a  decree 
that  is  written  in  three  totally  different 
styles  of  characters,  namely,  hieroglyphic, 
demotic  and  Greek;  the  first  was  used 
by  the  priesthood  and  by  learned  Egyp- 
tians, the  second  was  the  form  of  writ- 
ing employed  by  the  common  people, 
while  the  Greek  was  used  upon  this 
occasion  to  communicate  the  decree  to 
foreigners.  It  was  by  comparing  the 
hieroglyphic  and  demotic,  which  could  not 
at  the  time  be  read,  with  the  Greek,  which 
was  well  known,  that  Champollion  dis- 
covered the  key  to  hieroglyphic  writing. 


THE  ROSETTA  STONE. 

During  Napoleon's  campaign  in  Egypt,  i  700.  Boussard  a  French  officer  found  at  Fort  St.  Julien.  four  miles  from  the  village  of 
Rosetta,  a  basalt  stele,  which  was  found  to  contain  a  decree  of  Ptolemy  V.  Epiphanes  in  hieroglyphic,  demotic  and  Greek,  which 
supplied  the  key  for  the  decipherments  of  the  ancient  monuments  of  Egypt 


THE  EVOLUTION  OF  WRITING 

The  means  of  communicating  desires,  ideas,  information  by  one  person  to  another,  and  espe- 
cially the  means  of  transmitting  such  expressions  between  individuals,  constitute  one  of  the  most, 
probably  the  very  most,  interesting  phase  of  race  development.  Speech,  no  doubt,  came 
naturally,  even  as  feeling  and  desire,  but  writing  was  born  of  necessity,  or,  rather,  invented  to 
meet  an  indispensable  need.  The  evolution  of  writing,  from  crude  symbolism,  and  pictorial  repre- 
sentation of  objects,  used  by  the  earliest  peoples,  is  almost  obtrusively,  persistently,  interesting  to  all 
intelligent  persons,  for  the  advance  of  civilization,  with  all  that  it  implies,  is  not  more  certainly 
and  objectively  shown  than  by  the  written  records  graven  on  stone,  scratched  on  bone,  impressed 
in  bricks,  painted  on  papyrus,  and  traced  on  scrolls,  that  bestrew  the  path  of  the  millenniums  of 
human  existence.  Some  of  the  very  antique  examples  of  writing  are  here  exhibited,  and  the  few 
illustrations  printed  serve  admirably  to  show  the  gradual  advance  made  in  the  improved  means 
devised  for  communicating  commands,  recording  facts,  and  expressing  sentiments. 


THE  ROSETTA  STONE 

Nothing  is  left  of  Egyptian  buildings  except  their  graves  and  temples.  These,  by  their  inscrip- 
tions, were  destined  to  revive  interest  in  the  ancient  civilization  of  Egypt.  The  knowledge  of  the 
writings  and  speech  of  ancient  Egypt  had  long  ago  been  entirely  forgotten.  It  was  left  to  the 
nineteenth  century  to  find  the  key  for  deciphering  the  old  Egyptian  hieroglyphic  writings. 

France  deserves  especial  mention  as  having  been  the  first  to  show  an  interest  in  this  study,  and 
it  is  to  a  Frenchman  that  we  owe  the  first  attempt  at  a  scientific  study  of  the  subject.  The  capital 
of  France,  too,  was  the  first  seat  devoted  to  the  pursuit  of  these  studies  under  the  leadership  of 
Frantjois  Champollion,  the  founder  of  the  science,  and  his  successors,  Emmanuel  de  Rouge"  and 
G.  Maspero. 

The  era  of  scientific  investigation  of  Egyptian  affairs  begins  with  Napoleon  Bonaparte  and 
Francois  Champollion.  Leibnitz,  the  famous  German  philosopher,  was  the  first  to  arouse  the 
interest  of  Louis  XIV.  by  a  memoir  on  Egypt,  which  Napoleon  is  said  to  have  found  in  the  royal- 
Archives    and  made  use  of  in  his  Egyptian  expedition.     He  set  sail  on  the   19th  of  May,   1798, 

accompanied  by  a  number  of  learned  men.     The  results  of  the 


DISCOVERY  OF  THE  KEY  TO 
EGYPTIAN  WRITING 


scientific  investigations  were  published  in  a  work  of  thirty-six 
volumes,  twelve  volumes  of  illustrations,  and  twenty-four  of 
text,  entitled  "Description  de  l'Egypte,  ou  recueil  des  observa- 
tions et  des  recherches  pendant  l'expedition  de  1'armee  Francaise."  This  gave  a  great  impetus  to 
Egyptian  studies.  It  is  safe  to  say  that  with  this  work,  and  with  the  investigations  conducted 
in  connection  with  the  discovery  of  the  famous  Rosetta  stone  during  the  same  expedition  by  a 
French  engineer  in  1799,  begins  the  scientific  study  of  a  branch  of  learning  leading  with  certain 
aim  to  a  complete  explanation  of  Egyptian  antiquity. 

A  great  deal  of  matter  is  found  concerning  Egypt  in  ancient  and  mediaeval  literature — Greek, 
Christian,  and  Arabic,  but  it  is  of  no  scientific  value.  As  far  as  the  eighteenth  century  no  one 
succeeded  in  deciphering  any  of  the  hieroglyphic  writings.  Attempts  were  made  and  scholars 
varied  to  such  an  extent  that  while  one  maintained  that  a  certain  inscription  dealt  with  Christian 
mysteries,  another  insisted  that  the  subject  matter  was  moral  and  political  maxims,  a  third  made 
it  a  festal  calendar,  and  a  fourth  regarded  it  as  a  treatise  on  the  magnet  and  use  of  the  compass. 
At  this  point  came  the  discovery  of  the  Rosetta  stone,  now  in  the  British  Museum. 


This  stone  of  dark  basalt,  now  very  badly  broken  at  both  ends,  must  have  had  the  same  form 
as  that  most  commonly  employed  in  stones  set  up  in  honor  of  gods  and  kings  as  well  as  in  memorials 
set  up  in  temples  and  graves.  (A  restoration  of  the  form  of  the  Rosetta  stone  in  this  wise  is  given 
in  Eduard  Meyer's  "Geschichte  des  alten  Egyptens,"  I:  page  284.)  On  this  stone  a  decree  of  the 
priests  was  published  in  the  reign  of  Ptolemy  Epiphanes,  which  announced  that  the  Egyptian 
priesthood  resolved  to  thank  the  young  king  for  the  numerous  benefits  bestowed  by  him  upon  the 
land,  and  especially  upon  the  Egyptian  temples,  and  they  ordered  all  divine  honors  to  be  paid  him 
and  his  statues,  which  were  to  be  set  up  next  to  those  of  the  chief  divinity  in  all  temples  of  the  first, 
second  and  third  rank.  This  decree  was  composed  in  hieroglyphic  signs,  and  in  the  so-called 
demotic,  enchoric  or  epistolographic  script  of  the  common  people,  and  a  Greek  translation  was 
added.  That  the  contents  of  the  three  different  writings  are  the  same  is  proved  from  the  conclusion 
of  the  Greek  text  which  clearly  reads  [that  the  decree  shall  be  engraved  on  a  stele  of]  hard  stone  in 
the  sacred  writing,  in  the  enchoric  and  Greek  writing,  and  be  set  up  in  every  temple  of  the  first, 
second  [and  third  rank  next  to  the  statue  of  the  king,  the  ever-living].  (The  words  in  the  above 
passage  enclosed  in  square  brackets  are  broken  off  the  stone,  but  they  can  with  certainty  be  supplied 
from  the  hieroglyphic  and  demotic  text  which  can  now  be  read.) 

TRANSLATION  OF  THE  GREEK  TEXT 

In  the  reign  of  the  young  king  who  received  the  kingdom  from  his  father,  lord  of  diadems, 
greatly  glorious,  who  has  established  Egypt,  and  pious  toward  the  gods  is  superior  to  his  enemies, 
who  has  set  right  the  life  of  men,  lord  of  feasts  of  thirty  years,  like  Hephaestus  the  great  king,  like 
the  Sun  the  great  king  of  both  the  upper  and  lower  countries,  offspring  of  the  gods  Philopators, 
whom  Hephaestus  approved,  to  whom  the  Sun  gave  victory,  the  living  image  of  Zeus,  son  of  the 
Sun,  Ptolemy  the  ever-living,  beloved  of  Phtha;  in  the  ninth  year:  Aetus,  the  son  of  Aetus,  being 
priest  of  Alexander,  of  the  gods  Soters,  of  the  gods  Adelphi,  of  the  gods  Evergetae,  of  the  gods 
Philopators,  and  of  the  god  Epiphanes  Eucharistus;  the  athlophorus  of  Berenice  Evergetes  being 
Pyrrah,  daughter  of  Philinus;  the  canephorus  of  Arsinoe  Philadelphus,  Areia,  daughter  of  Diogenes; 
the  priestess  of  Arsinoe  Philopator  being  Irene,  daughter  of  Ptolemy;  of  the  month  Xandicus,  the 
fourth,  but  according  to  the  Egyptians,  the  eighteenth  of  Mechir-Decree. 

The  chief  priests  and  prophets,  and  those  who  enter  the  sanctuary  for  the  arraying  of  the  gods, 
and  the  pterophorae,  and  sacred  scribes,  and  all  the  other  priests  who  were  come  from  the  temples 
throughout  the  land  to  Memphis,  into  the  presence  of  the  kings,  for  the  ceremonial  of  the  reception, 
by  Ptolemy  the  ever-living,  beloved  of  Phtha,  god  Epiphanes  Eucharistus  of  the  crown  which  he 

received  from  his  father,  being  gathered  together  in  the  temple 


THE  DECREE  OF 
PTOLEMY  V.  EPIPHANES 


at  Memphis  on  the  day  aforesaid,  decreed,  Since  that  King 
Ptolemy,  the  ever-living,  beloved  of  Phtha,  god  Epiphanes 
Eucharistus,  offspring  of  King  Ptolemy  and  Queen  Arsinoe, 
gods  Philopators,  has  in  many  things  benefited  the  temples  and  those  connected  with  them  and 
all  those  living  under  his  sway,  that  being  a  god,  born  of  a  god,  and  a  goddess,  like  Horus  the  son 
of  Isis  and  Osiris,  of  a  liberal  disposition  towards  the  gods,  he  has  dedicated  to  the  temples  reve- 
nues both  of  money  and  provisions  and  has  undergone  great  expenses  in  order  to  bring  back 
Egypt  to  quietness,  and  to  establish  religious  observances;  with  all  the  means  in  his  power  he  has 
shown  kindness;  of  the  taxes  and  imposts  existing  in  Egypt  some  he  has  taken  away  entirely,  and 
others  he  has  lightened,  that  the  people  and  all  others  might  be  in  prosperity  under  his  rule;  the 
crown  debts  which  those  in  Egypt  and  in  the  rest  of  his  kingdom  owed,  being  very  considerable, 
he  has  remitted  to  all,  and  those  shut  up  in  prison  for  such  debts,  and  those  lying  under 
accusation  for  a  long  time,  he  released  from  the  claims  against  them;  also  he  commanded 
the  revenues  of  the  temples  and  the  contributions  of  provisions  and  money  made  to  them 
yearly ;  and  in  like  manner  the  just  portions  of  the  goods  from  the  vineyards  and  gardens,  and 
what  else  belonged  to  the  gods  in  the   time  of  his   father,   should   remain  upon  the  same  basis; 


INSCRIPTION  ON  THE  SARCOPHAGUS   OF   ESMUNAZAR, 

KING  OF  SIDON 


On  the  20th  of  February,  1S55,  Mr.  Peretie,  Chancellor  of  the  French  Consulate  at  Beyrouth,  Palestine, 
having  undertaken  excavations  on  a  piece  of  ground  twenty-five  minutes'  walk  south  of  Sayda,  the  ancient  Sidon, 
was  informed  that  his  agent  had  unearthed  there  a  coffin  of  black  basalt,  near  a  rock  against  which  it  rested. 
Besides  the  sarcophagus,  a  tooth,  a  piece  of  bone,  and  later  a  human  jaw,  were  found  in  the  rubbish.  The 
sarcophagus  itself  was  of  that  Egyptian  form  peculiar  to  mummy  cases,  i.  c,  oblong,  like  a  body  wrapped 
-up  to  the  neck  in  thick  bands,  whose  head,  cut  out  with  broad  head-dress  and  straight  plaited  beard,  alone  remains 
uncovered,  wearing  a  rich  broad  chain  in  relief,  at  each  extremity  of  which  is  a  head  of  a  sacred  hawk,  such  as  one 
often  sees  on  the  neck  of  Egyptian  mummies.  But  instead  of  being  adorned  with  hieroglyphics  the  sarcophagus 
discovered  by  Peretie  bears  along  its  whole  height  an  inscription  in  twenty-two  lines,  written  in  Phoenician  char- 
acters, well  preserved  and  written  with  especial  care  to  avoid  confusing  letters  somewhat  similar  in  form.  As  in 
most  Phoenician  inscriptions  the  words  are  not  separated,  and  this  continuity  is  the  only  real  obstacle  to  a  certain 
translation. 

The  dimensions  of  the  coffin  are  2  m.  45  cm.  by  1  m.  40  cm.,  (about  8  feet  2  in.  by  4  feet  4  in.)  and  the 
inscription  which  covers  it  occupies  a  square  of  84  cm.  on  each  side.  Another  inscription  is  found  around  the 
head  of  the  body  at  the  exterior  extremity  of  the  sarcophagus  which  is,  however,  simply  a  reproduction  of  a  part 
of  the  first  inscription. 

The  inscription  is  that  of  King  Esmunazar  of  Sidon,  and  is  the  most  important  Phoenician  inscription  yet 
found.  Whereas  the  Phoenician  inscriptions  found  hitherto  were  in  the  Phoenician  colonies,  this  one  belonged  to 
the  mother  country.  Its  importance  lies  not  only  in  the  fact  that  it  definitely  proves  the  Pheenician  language  to 
have  been  almost  identical  with  the  Hebrew,  but  it  also,  more  than  any  other,  gives  us  an  insight  into  the  religious 
views  of  the  Phoenicians  and  the  political  institutions  of  Sidon. 

It  is  a  funeral  inscription  in  which  Esmunazar,  King  of  Sidon,  about  572  D.  C,  adjures  all  persons,  under 
pain  of  eternal  damnation,  not  to  disturb  his  "bed  of  rest." 


TRAXSLATIOX 

In  the  month  of  Bui  (October),  in  the  fourteenth  year  of  his  reign — >f  King  Esmunazar,  King  of  the 
Sidonians,  son  of  King  Tebnet,  King  of  the  Sidonians — spoke  King  Esmunazar,  King  of  the  Sidonians,  as  follows: 
I  have  been  taken  away  before  my  time,  a  small  number  of  days  old.  With  this  my  highness  is  at  an  end.  I  lie 
dead  in  this  coffin  and  in  this  grave  in  the  place  which  I  have  built.  I  adjure  every  r  lyal  person  and  every  man — 
that  he  open  not  this  bed  of  rest,  or  search  in  it  precious  things,  for  there  lie  no  precious  things  in  it;  that  he 
remove  not  my  sarcophagus,  or  put  me  into  another  bed  of  rest.  Even  if  people  induce  you  listen  not  to  them; 
for  every  royal  person  and  every  man  who  opens  the  lid  of  this  coffin  or  who  takes  my  coffin  away  or  who  removes 
me  who  am  in  this  coffin — may  he  have  no  funeral  bed  among  the  shades;  may  they  be  buried  in  no  grave ;  may  they 
leave  after  them  neither  sons  nor  posterity.  May  the  holy  gods  deliver  them  to  a  violent  ruler,  who  shall  have 
power  over  them  to  destroy  them.  Concerning  same  royal  person  or  (private)  man  who  opens  the  lid  of  this 
funeral  bed.  or  who  removes  this  coffin;  and  concerning  the  offspring  of  same  royal  person  or  (private)  people — 
may  they  have  neither  root  below,  nor  fruit  above,  nor  form  in  life  under  the  sun.  Yi  s,  I,  deserving  of  pity, 
have  been  taken  away  before  my  time,  of  a  limited  number  of  days.  Now  my  highness  with  this  is  at  an  end.  I  am 
di  ad.  Namely  I,  Esmunazar,  King  of  the  Sidonians,  son  of  Tebnet,  King  of  the  Sidonians,  grandson  of  Esmu- 
nazar, Kin;:  of  the  Sidonians,  and  my  mother  Amaastart,  Priestess  of  our  Lady  Astarte,  the  queen  daughter  of 
King  I  ar,  King  of  the  Sidonians — we  who  have  built  the  temples  of  the  gods,  the  te  oi   Astarte  in 

Sidon,  land  oi  the  sea,  and  have  given  a  dwelling  to  Astarte  as  the  highest  person;  and  it  was  we  who  have 
built  a  temple  lor  Lsmun  near  the  source,  the  spring  of  Idll  in  the  mountains,  and  have  given  him  a  habitation 
high  on;   and  it  was  we  who  built  (again)  temples  for  the  gods  of  the  Sidonians  in  Sidon,  city  of  the 

sea — a  temple  of  Baal  Sidon  and  a  temple  of  Astarte  of  the  name  of  Baal.     And  turtle  thi    Lord  of  Kings 

id  Joppa — the  lordly  lands  of  grain,  which  lie  in  the  field  of  Saron,  in  recompense!  n  agreal  tribute 
which  I  have  offered;  and  we  added  them  to  the  domain  of  the  land  to  belong  to  the  Sidonians  forever. 

1  adjure  ever}    royal  person  and  every  (private)  man,  neither  to  open  the  lid,  nor  to  tear  off  the  lid   nor  to 

remove  me  who  am  in  the  funeral  bed,  nor  to  rei i  mj   sarcophagus,!  it    those   holj    gods  may  not 

r  them  up,  so  that  the  sami   royal  person  or  (private)  man  and  their  posterity  be  destn  yedfon 


The  inscription  on  the  sarcophagus  of  King  Esmunazar  is  translated  into 
English  and  appears,  with  description  of  the  coffin  in  which  the  royal  remains  were 
found,  on  the  accompanying  tissue  title-page.  Observe,  that  while  the  sarcopha- 
gus is  distinctively  Egyptian,  the  inscription  is  Phoenician,  thus  marking  the 
affinity  of  the  two  races  and  illustrating,  in  a  way  the  evolutii  in.  in  writing,  of  the 
latter  from  the  former. 


he  commanded  also  concerning  the  priests  that  they  should  give  nothing  more  for  graduation  fee 
than  was  imposed  .up  to  the  first  year  in  his  father's  reign ;  he  released  also  those  of  the  sacred  tribes 
of  the  voyage  yearly  down  to  Alexandria,  also  he  ordered  the  collection  of  naval  supplies  not  to  be 
made;  of  the  contribution  of  fine  linen  cloth  made  in  the  temples  for  the  royal  palace,  he  remitted 
two-thirds;  what  had  been  neglected  in  former  times  he  restored  to  proper  order,  taking  care  that 
what  was  accustomed  should  be  performed  for  the  gods  as  was  fitting;  likewise  also  he  allotted 
justice  to  all  as  Hermes  the  twice  great;  he  ordered  also  that  those  who  returned,  both  of  the  soldiers 
and  others  of  the  opposition  in  the  times  of  the  di  rturbance,  on  coming  back  be  kept  in  possession 
of  their  property;  he  took  care  also  that  there  should  go  out  forces,  of  horse  and  foot  and  ships, 
against  those  invading  Egypt  both  by  sea  and  land,  undergoing  great  expenses,  both  of  money  and 
provisions,  that  the  temples  and  all  che  people  of  Egypt  might  be  in  safety;  being  present  also  at 
Lycopolis  in  Busiris,  which  had  been  taken  and  fortified  against  a  siege  by  a  very  abundant  supply 
of  arms  and  all  other  munition,  since  for  a  long  time  the  rebellion  had  existed  among  those  impious 
ones  gathered  there,  who  had  done  to  the  temples  and  the  inhabitants  of  Egypt  much  evil,  and 
laying  siege  to  it,  he  surrounded  it  with  embankments  and  ditches  and  walls  very  remarkable;  the 
great  rise  which  the  Nile  made  in  the  eighth  year  (and  it  was  accustomed  to  flood  the  plains),  he 
restrained  at  many  places,  securing  the  mouths  of  the  canals,  expending  on  these  of  money  no 
small  amount,  and  stationing  horse  and  foot  soldiers  to  guard  them;  in  a  little  time  he  took  the 
city  by  storm,  and  all  the  impious  in  it  he  destroyed  as  Hermes,  and  Horus  the  son  of  Isis  and 

Osiris,  overpowered  those  who  in  the  same  parts  had  revolted 


HOW  HE  SUBDUED  THE 
ENEMIES  OF  EGYPT 


in  former  times;  the  ringleaders  also  of  the  revoltcrs  in  his 
father's  reign  who  had  troubled  the  country  and  outraged  the 
temples,  being  at  Memphis  the  avenger  of  his  father  and  of 
his  own  crown,  all  these  he  punished  justly,  at  the  time  when  he  was  there  for  his  performance 
of  the  rites  proper  for  the  reception  of  the  crown:  he  remitted  also  the  debts  owed  in  the 
temples  to  the  palace  up  to  the  eighth  year,  amounting  to  no  small  quantity  of  provisions 
and  money;  likewise  also  the  value  of  the  linen  cloths  due  which  had  not  been  given  in  to 
the  palace;  and,  of  those  which  had  been  given  in,  the  replacement  of  such  as  differed  from  the 
pattern  up  to  the  same  date;  he  released  the  temples  also  of  the  appointed  artaba  per  aroura 
of  the  sacred  land,  and  in  like  manner  as  to  the  ceramium  per  aroura  of  the  vineyards ;  to  Apis 
and  Mneris  he  made  many  gifts,  as  also  to  the  other  sacred  animals  of  Egypt,  having  much 
better  care  than  the  kings  before  him  for  what  belonged  to  them  in  all  respects,  and  giving  bounti- 
fully and  nobly  what  was  proper  for  their  funerals  with  the  dues  for  the  support  of  their  respective 
worships  with  sacrifices  and  panagyries  and  the  other  usual  rites.  The  prerogatives  of  the  temples 
and  of  Egypt  he  has  carefully  kept  upon  the  same  basis  agreeably  to  the  laws;  he  has  adorned  the 
Apieum  with  costly  works  expending  upon  it  of  gold  and  silver  and  precious  stones  no  small  amount, 
and  has  founded  temples  and  shrines  and  altars;  what  had  need  of  repair  he  restored,  having  the 
disposition  of  a  beneficent  god  in  what  concerns  the  divinity;  learning  by  means  of  additional 
enquiry  their  state  he  has  restored  the  most  honored  of  the  temples;  in  return  for  which  the  gods 
have  given  him  health,  victory,  strength,  and  all  other  good  things,  the  kingdom  being  assured  to 
him  and  his  children  to  all  time. 

With  good  fortune:  It  has  seemed  good  to  the  priests  of  all  the  temples  of  the  land  to  decree 
to  augment  greatly  all  honors  now  paid  to  the  ever-living  King  Ptolemy,  beloved  of  Phtha,  god 
Epiphanes  Eucharistus,  and  likewise  those  of  his  ancestors  the  gods  Philopators  and  of  his  ancestors 
gods  Evergetae  and  of  the  gods  Adelphi,  and  those  of  the  gods  Soters,  to  erect  of  the  ever-living 
King  Ptolemy,  god  Epiphanes  Eucharistus,  an  image  in  each  temple  in  the  most  conspicuous  place; 
which  shall  be  entitled  "Ptolemy  the  defender  of  Egypt,"  near  which  shall  stand  the  god  to  whom 
the  temple  belongs,  presenting  to  him  a  conquering  weapon,  which  arrangements  will  be  made  in 
the  manner  of  the  Egyptians;  also  for  the  priests  to  perform  a  service  before  these  images  three 
times  each  day,  and  put  on  them  the  sacred  adorning,  and  perform  the  other  accustomed  rites, 
as  to  the  other  gods  in  the  panagyries  of  Egypt;  to  set  up  for  King  Ptolemy,  god  Epiphanes  Eucha- 


ristus,  offspring  of  King  Ptolemy  and  Queen  Arsinoe,  gods  Philopators,  a  statue  and  a  shrine,  both 
gilded  in  each  of  the  temples,  and  to  place  this  in  the  sanctuaries  with  the  other  shrines,  and  in  the 
great  panagyries  in  which  processions  of  the  shrines  take  place,  for  the  shrine  of  the  god  Epiphanes 
Eucharistus  to  go  out  with  them;  that  it  may  be  well  marked  both  now  and  for  future  time,  to  place 
upon  the  shrine  the  ten  golden  ornaments  of  the  king  to  which  shall  be  affixed  an  asp,  similar  to 
the  adorning  of  asp-like  ornaments  which  are  upon  the  other  shrines  in  the  midst  of  which  shall  be 
the  crown  called  "Schent"  which  he  wore  when  he  entered  the  temple  at  Memphis  for  the  perform- 
ance in  it  of  the  rites  proper  for  the  assumption  of  the  crown;  to  place  upon  the  platform  of  the 
ornaments  about  the  aforesaid  crown  ten  golden  phylacteries  on  which  shall  be  written  "this  is

which  the  birthday  festivities  of  the  king  are  celebrated,  and 
in  like  manner  the  seventeenth  of  Mechir,  in  which  he  received 
the  kingdom  from  his  father,  have  been  named  after  him  in 
the  temples,  which  certainly  are  harbingers  of  much  good  to  all,  to  celebrate  these  days  (the 
seventeenth  and  thirtieth)  feasts  and  panagyries  in  the  temples  of  Egypt  monthly,  and  to  per- 
form in  them  sacrifices  and  libations  and  what  else  is  proper,  as  in  the  other  panagyries;  to 
give  the  usual  public  notices  to  all  for  what  is  to  be  offered  in  the  temples;  to  celebrate  a  feast  and 
a  panagyry  to  the  ever-living  and  beloved  of  Phtha,  King  Ptolemy,  god  Epiphanes  Eucharistus, 
each  year  in  the  temples  throughout  the  land,  from  the  new  moon  of  the  Thoth  for  five  days,  in 
which  also  they  shall  wear  garlands,  performing  sacrifices  and  libations  and  what  else  is  proper; 
to  call  the  priests  of  the  temples  of  the  land,  also  priests  of  the  god  Epiphanes  Eucharistus,  in  addi- 
tion to  the  other  names  which  they  had  from  the  gods  whom  they  serve,  and  to  inscribe  on  all  their 
documents  and  on  the  seal-rings  on  their  hands  their  priesthood  to  him;  that  it  be  lawful  to  the 
rest,  private  person  to  celebrate  the  feast  and  set  up  the  aforesaid  shrine  having  it  in  their  houses, 
performing  what  is  right  in  the  feasts  both  monthly  and  yearly,  in  order  that  it  may  be  known  why 
the  people  of  Egypt  magnify  and  honor  the  god  Epiphanes  Eucharistus  the  king  as  is  just,  to  write 
this  decree  upon  a  column  of  hard  stone  in  sacred  and  enchorial  and  Greek  letters  and  place  it  in 
each  of  the  temples  of  the  first,  second  and  third  order  near  the  image  of  the  ever-living  king. 


GUDEA,  KING  OF  SHIRPURLA 

The  statues  of  Gudea  belong  to  the  monuments  of  Telloh  discovered  by  excavations  conducted 
under  the  superintendence  of  Ernest  de  Sarzec,  French  consul  at  Bagdad,  1877-1882.  It  is  of 
Gudea  that  the  larger  and  more  important  part  of  the  monuments  of  Telloh  preserve  the  memory: 
eight  statues,  two  large  cylinders  of  clay,  and  hundreds  of  fragments  or  small  texts — now  in  the 
Louvre.  Gudea  was  king  of  Shirpurla,  the  modern  Telloh,  in  Southern  Babylonia,  about  B.  C.  3 100. 
This  statue — one  of  eight — is  designated  B,  and  is  covered  all  around  with  cuneiform  inscriptions. 
The  plate  represents  the  right  profile  of  the  statue,  with  part  of  the  inscription.  The  translation 
of  the  whole  is  as  follows : 

In  the  temple  of  the  god  Nin-girsu,  his  king,  the  statue  of  Gudea,  the  patesi  of  Shirpurla,  who 

the  temple  Eninnu  has  constructed:    1  qa  of  fermented  liquor,  1  qa  of  food,  half  a  qa  of 

half  a  qa  of  .  .  .  .  such  are  the  offerings  which  it  institutes. 
As  for  the  patesi  who  shall  revoke  them,  who  the  orders  of  the 
god  Nin-girsu  shall  transgress,  let  the  offerings  instituted  by 
him  in  the  temple  of  the  god  Nin-girsu  be  revoked!  Let  the 
commands  of  his  mouth  be  annulled! 

To  the  god  Nin-girsu,  the  powerful  warrior  of  the  god  Ellilla,  Gudea  the  architect  (?)  the  patesi 
of  Shirpurla,  the  shepherd  chosen  by  the  unchangeable  will  of  the  god  Nin-girsu,  regarded  with  a 


TRANSLATION  OF  THE 
CUNEIFORM  INSCRIPTION 


A  Very  Ancient  Cuneiform 
Inscription 


Next  to  the  hieroglyphic  characters 
peculiar  to  Egypt,  the  cuneiform  style  of 
writing  is  probably  the  most  ancient,  of 
which  any  decipherable  specimens  have 
been  found.  The  inscription  on  the  statue 
of  Gudea,  one  of  the  Kings  of  Southern 
Babylonia,  is  a  splendid  example  of  the 
characters  used  by  the  ancient  and  power- 
ful Babylonians,  who  arrived  at  a  consider- 
able state  of  civilization  and  literary 
culture  more  than  five  thousand  years  ago, 
which  carries  us  back,  according  to  Bible 
chronologv,  to  almost  the  time  of  Noah. 


STATUE   OF  GUDEA.  KING   OF    SHIRPURLA. 

Gudea  was  a  king  of  Southern  Babylonia,  about  B.C.  3100,  and  the  cuneiform  inscription  on  his  statue  is  there- 
lore  one  of  the  oldest  that  has  been  discovered.  The  inscription,  which  is  of  great  length,  appeals  to  the  gods  of 
Babylonia,  as  witnesses  to  the  justice  of  Gudea's  rulership. 


THE  TEMPLES  CONSTRUCTED 
BY  GUDEA 


favorable  eye  by  the  goddess  Nina,  dowered  with  power  by  the  god  Nindara,  covered  with  renown 
by  the  goddess  Bau,  the  offspring  of  the  goddess  Gutumdug,  dowered  with  sovereignty  and  the 
sceptre  supreme  by  the  god  Galalim,  proclaimed  afar  among  living  creatures  by  the  god  Dunshaga, 
whose  primacy  has  been  firmly  founded  by  the  god  Xingish-zida  his  god.  After  that  the  god  Nin- 
girsu  had  turned  towards  his  city  a  favorable  gaze  (and)  Gudea  had  chosen  as  the  faithful  shepherd 
of  the  country  (and)  among  the  divisions  (?)  of  men  had  established  his  power,  then  he  purified  the 
city  and  cleansed  it ;  he  has  laid  the  foundations  (of  a  temple)  and  deposited  the  foundation-cylinder. 
The  adorers  of  the  demons  (?),  the  evokers  of  spirits  (?),  the  necromancers  (?),  the  prophetesses 
of  divine  decrees  (?)  he  has  banished  from  the  city.  Whoever  has  not  departed  obediently,  has 
been  expelled  perforce  by  the  warriors.  The  temple  of  the  god  Nin-girsu  in  all  respects  in  a  pure 
place  he  has  constructed.  No  tomb  has  been  destroyed  (?),  no  sepulchral  urn  has  been  broken  (?), 
no  son  has  ill-treated  his  mother.  The  ministers,  the  judges,  the  doctors,  the  chiefs,  during  the 
execution  of  this  work  have  worn  garments  of  ....(?).  During  all  the  time  (of  its  construction) 
in  the  cemetery  of  the  city  no  ditch  lias  been  excavated  (?);  no  corpse  has  been  interred  (?).  The 
Kalu  (a  class  of  priests)  has  performed  his  funeral  music  or  uttered  his  lamentations;  the  female 
mourner  has  not  caused  her  lamentations  to  be  heard.  On  the  territory  of  Shirpurla  a  man  at 
variance  (with  his  neighbor)  to  the  place  of  oath  (court  of  justice)  has  taken  no  one;  a  brigand 
has  entered  the  house  of  no  one.     For  the  god  Nin-girsu  his  king  (Gudea)  has  made  the  dedicatory 

inscriptions  ( ?) ;  his  temple  Eninnu  which  illuminates  the 
darkness  (?),  he  has  constructed  and  reinstated.  In  the 
interior  (of  the  temple)  his  favorite  Gigunu  of  cedar  wood  he 
has  constructed  for  him.  After  that  the  temple  of  the  god 
Nin-girsu  he  has  had  constructed,  the  god  Nin-girsu,  the  king  beloved  by  him,  from  the  sea  of 
the  Highlands  (Elam)  to  the  lower  sea  has  forcefully  opened  (the  ways)  for  him.  In  Amanum, 
the  mountain  of  Cedars,  [joists]  of  cedar,  whose  [length]  was  seventy  spans,  [and  joists]  of  cedar 
whose  [length  was]  50  spans,  [and  joists]  of  box  (?)  whose  length  was  25  spans,  he  has  caused  to 
be  cut;  from  this  mountain  he  has  caused  them  to  be  brought.  The  ....  he  has  made. 
The  ....  he  has  made.  The  ....  he  has  made.  The  ....  he  has  made.  As  for  the 
cedars-  (some)  to  form  great  gates  he  has  employed;  with  brilliant  ornaments  he  has 
enriched  them  ( ?)  and  in  the  temple  Eninnu  he  has  placed  them.  (Others)  in  his  sanctuary 
E-magh-ki-a-sig-de-da  he  has  used  as  beams.  Near  the  city  of  Ursu,  in  the  mountains  of  Ibla 
joists  of  Zabanum  trees,  of  great  shaku  trees,  of  tulubum  trees,  and  of  gin  trees,  he  has  caused  to 
be  cut;  in  the  temple  of  Eninnu  he  has  caused  them  to  be  used  as  beams.  From  Shamanum  in 
the  mountains  of  Menua,  from  Susalla  (?)  in  the  mountains  of  Martu,  nagal  stones  he  has  caused 
to  be  brought;  in  slabs  he  has  caused  them  to  be  cut;  the  Holy  of  Holies  in  the  temple  Eninnu, 
he  has  constructed  of  them.  From  Tidanum  in  the  mountains  of  Martu  shirgal-ghabbia  stones 
he  has  caused  to  be  conveyed;  in  the  form  of  urpadda  he  has  caused  them  to  be  cut;  to  (receive) 
the  bars  of  the  gates  in  the  temple  he  has  arranged  them.  From  the  country  of  Kagal-adda-ki 
in  the  mountains  of  Kimash  I  caused  copper  to  be  taken,  to  make  the  arm  (?)  from  which  one 
escapes  not  he  has  employed  it.  From  the  country  of  Melughgha  kala  trees  he  has  imported;  he 
has  caused  to  be  made.  From  Kilzanim  he  has  imported;  to  make  the  arm  (?)....  he  has 
employed  it.  Gold-dust  from  the  mountains  of  Ghaghum  he  has  imported;  for  the  fabrication 
of  the  arm  (?)  .  .  .  he  has  utilized  it.  Gold-dust  from  the  mountains  of  Melughgha  he  has  im- 
ported, to  make  the  Emartu  he  has  employed  it.  Lidri  (?)  he  has  imported.  From  the  country 
of  Gubin,  the  land  of  the  ghaluku  trees,  ghaluku  wood  he  has  imported;  to  make  pillars  he  has 
employed  it.  From  the  country  of  Madga  in  the  mountains  of  the  river  Gurruda  bitumen  (?) 
he  has  imported;  the  platform  of  the  temple  Eninnu  he  has  constructed.  Imghaum  he  has  im- 
ported. From  the  mountains  of  Barsip  nalua  stones  in  large  boats  he  caused  to  be  brought;  the 
foundation  of  the  temple  Eninnu  he  has  encircled  with  them.  By  arms  the  city  of  Anshan  in 
the  country  of  Elam  he  has  conquered;  its  spoils  to  the  god  Nin-girsu  in  the  temple  Eninnu  he 
has  consecrated.     Gudea,  the  patesi  of  Shirpurla,  after  that  the  temple  Eninnu  to  the  god  Nin- 


girsu  he  had  constructed,  has  built  an  edifice:  a  pillared  (?)  temple  no  patesi  for  the  god  Nin-girsu 
had  constructed;  he  has  constructed  it  for  him.  He  has  written  there  his  name;  he  has  made 
dedicatory  inscriptions  (?).  The  orders  of  the  mouth  of  the  god  Nin-girsu  he  has  faithfully  exe- 
cuted. From  the  mountains  of  the  country  of  Magan  a  hard  stone  he  has  imported.  For  his 
statue  he  has  caused  it  to  be  cut.  "  O  my  king,  whose  temple  I  have  built,  may  life  be  my  recom- 
pense!" By  this  name  he  has  named  (the  statue),  and  in  the  temple  Eninnu  he  has  erected  it. 
Gudea  unto  the  statue  has  given  command:  "To  the  statue  of  my  king  speak!"  After  that  the 
temple  Eninnu,  his  favorite  temple  I  had  constructed,  I  have  remitted  penalties,  I  have  given 
presents.      During  seven  days  obeisance  has  not  been  exacted;    the  female  slave  has  been  made 

the   equal   of    her   mistress;    the    male    slave    has   been    made 


GUDEA  EXTOLS  HIS  RULE 
AS  ONE  OF  EXACT  JUSTICE 


the  equal  of  his  master;  in  my  city  the  chief  of  his  subject 
has  been  made  the  equal.  All  that  is  evil  from  this  temple 
I  have  removed.  Over  the  commands  of  the  goddess  Nina 
and  the  god  Nin-girsu  I  have  carefully  watched.  A  fault  (?)  the  rich  man  has  not  com- 
mitted; all  that  he  has  desired  (?)  the  strong  man  has  not  done.  The  house  where  there 
was  no  son,  it  is  its  daughter,  who  new  offerings  (?)  has  consecrated;  for  the  statue  of 
the  god  before  the  mouth  she  has  placed  them.  Of  this  statue,  neither  in  silver  nor  in 
alabaster  nor  in  copper  nor  in  tin  nor  in  bronze  let  any  one  undertake  the  execution !  Let 
it  be  of  hard  stone!  let  a  sacristy  be  established,  and  of  all  that  shall  be  brought  there  let  nothing 
be  destroyed!  The  statue  which  is  before  thee,  O  god  Nin-girsu,  the  statue  of  Gudea,  the  patesi 
of  Shirpurla,  who  the  temple  Eninnu  of  the  god  Nin-girsu  has  constructed,  whosoever  from  the 
temple  Eninnu  shall  remove  (or)  its  inscription  shall  efface;  whosoever  shall  break  it,  on  the  fortu- 
nate day  of  the  commencement  of  the  year,  whoever  in  the  place  of  my  god,  his  god — and  it  is 
Nin-girsu  who  is  my  king — in  the  country  shall  invoke;  (whoever)  my  judgments  shall  transgress, 
my  gifts  shall  revoke;  whoever  in  the  recitation  of  my  prayers  shall  suppress  my  name  and  insert 
his  own ;  (whoever)  of  the  Holy  of  Holies  of  the  god  Nin-girsu,  my  king,  shall  abandon  the  service  ( ?) 
and  shall  not  keep  it  (ever)  before  his  eyes; — from  the  most  distant  days,  of  all  men  of  noble  race; 
of  the  patesis  of  Shirpurla  who  the  temple  Eninnu  of  the  god  Nin-girsu,  my  king  have  constructed, 
and  who  have  made  dedicatory  inscriptions  (?),  the  words  of  their  mouth  let  no  one  change  nor 
trangress  their  judgments!  Of  Gudea,  the  patesi  of  Shirpurla,  whoever  shall  change  his  words 
or  transgress  his  judgments,  may  the  god  Anna,  may  the  god  Ellilla,  may  the  goddess  Nin-gharsag, 
may  the  god  Enki,  whose  word  is  unchangeable;  may  the  god  Enzu,  whose  name  none  pronounces;

HITTITE   INSCRIPTIONS 


"A  considerable  number  of  Hittite  monuments  have  been  found,  which  heip  us  to  a  clearer  understanding 
of  the  history  of  this  people  than  we  could  get  from  Biblical,  Egyptian,  and  cuneiform  dataalone.  At  Carchemish 
and  Hamath  have  been  unearthed  remains  of  sculptures  accompanied  by  inscriptions,  and  elsewhere  in  this 
region,  as  at  Zenjirli,  there  are  abundant  traces  of  Hittite  art.  Thanks  to  the  researches  of  Jensen,  it  may  now 
be  regarded  as  certain  that  the  inscriptions  cover  the  period  1200-S00  B.  C.  It  is  fair  to  presume  that  the  lan- 
guage of  all  the  so-called  Hittite  inscriptions  is  the  same,  although  it  may  be  added  that  several  styles  of  Hittite 
characters  may  be  distinguished,  some  being  pictorial,  others  branching  off  into  conventional  forms,  with  a  strong 
tendency  towards  becoming  linear.  The  decipherment  of  the  Hittite  inscriptions  which  would  throw  so  much 
needed  light  on  the  ethnic  problems  is  now  being  vigorously  prosecuted.  After  several  attempts  on  the  part  of 
Sayce,  Peiser,  and  Halevy,  which  constituted  an  opening  wedge,  Jensen  has  recently  struck  a  new  path  which  gives 
promise  of  leading,  ere  long,  to  a  satisfactory  solution  of  the  mystery.  He  has  identified  ideographs  and  sign 
groups  for  the  names  of  countries  and  gods,  some  of  which  appear  to  be  established  beyond  reasonable  doubt. 
So  far  as  Jensen's  decipherment  has  gone,  the  inscriptions — some  thirty  in  all — contain  little  beyond  the  names 
and  titles  of  rulers,  lands,  and  gods,  with  brief  indication  of  conquests.  The  Hittite  script  appears  to  have  been 
taken  over  from  the  Egyptian  hieroglyphics,  though  it  seems  also  certain  that  it  contains  elements  which  are 
either  original  or  derived  from  some  source  that  is  still  unknown.  " 

The  plate  represents  one  of  the  stones  found  in  Jerabis,  or  Carchemish.  These  stones  are  now  in  the  British 
Museum,  and  we  are  indebted  for  them  to  George  Smith  and  Consul  Henderson.  They  are  among  the  best 
specimens  of  Hittite  inscriptions  yet  found.  According  to  Jensen,  their  date  is  between  950  and  750  B.  C.  There 
are  four  columns  of  inscription  on  the  stone,  only  two  of  which  are  represented  in  the  fac-simile.  ■ 

Following  is  an  attempt  made  by  Peter  Jensen  to  decipher  the  inscription: 

I  am  -[  ]-z-s  (name)  of  Carchemish  the  powerful,  the  king,  the  king,  the  P,  the  prince  of  the  land,  the  priest- 
king  (?)  the  ....  z-T one  of  the  land,  of  Carchemish,  the  powerful,  the  king  .   .   .   .   ,  one  of  the  land

HIMYARITIC    INSCRIPTION    OF    HADAKAN 

Himyaritic  or  Sabaean  is  a  name  applied  to  the  former  people  of  southwestern  Arabia,  or  Yemen,  and  to  the 
remains  of  their  civilization,  consisting  of  extensive  ruins,  with  numerous  inscriptions  (the  oldest  from  long 
before  our  era).  The  language  belongs  to  the  Arabic  division  of  the  West  Semitic  group,  and  has  its  nearest 
relative  in  the  idiom  of  the  central  and  north  Arabian  Bedouins,  raised  to  a  literary  language  by  Mohammed, 
but  especially  is  the  Ethiopic  nearly  related  to  it. 

The  present  inscription  was  found  by  Eduard  Glaser  (who  made  four  journeys  to  the  East  in  the  years  1SS5-S6, 
1887-S8,  and  1892-94  [?]  and  brought  back  over  a  thousand  inscriptions)  in  Yemen,  South  Arabia,  in  a  village 
called  Hadakan,  near  an  estate  now  called  Bait  Mukbil  Dugaish.  The  stone  is  kept  in  the  royal  museum  of 
Berlin.  It  is  92  cm.  (originally  94  cm.,  about  2  feet  6  in.)  wide  and  41  cm.  high  (about  14  in).  When  found  it 
was  walled  into  a  recent  building,  and  when  taken  out  the  left  edge  and  lower  part  were  gone.  Eight  lines  are 
almost  complete  and  a  few  obliterated  traces  of  the  ninth. 

It  is  a  dedicatorv  inscription  in  which  the  devotee  declares  that  he  dedicates  to  Talab  his  own  person  and 
his  children  and  all  his  possessions.  The  reason  for  his  action  was  probably  contained  in  that  part  of  the  inscrip- 
tion which  is  missing.

SPECIMEN  OF  HITTITE  PICTURE  WRITING. 

The  Hittite  race,  or  tribe,  has  been  an  unsolved  problem  with 
ethnologists — whence  they  came,  whither  departed, — the  most  we 
have  been  able  to  learn  being  derived  from  the  Scriptures.  The 
illustration  above  shows  part  of  a  monument  found  in  Arabia,  par- 
ticularly described  and  the  inscription  deciphered  in  the  accom- 
panying tissue  title-page. 


HIMVARITIC   INSCRIPTIONS. 

The  example  of  Himyaritic  inscription  exhibited  above  is  of 
particular  interest  to  students  of  language  development  in  that  it 
represents,  apparently,  a  transition  from  Ethiopic  to  Asiatic  charac- 
ter writing,  probably  five  hundred  or  more  years  before  the 
Christian  era.  See  description  and  decipherment  on  the  tissue 
title-page  herewith.

HOW  TO  USE  THE  THESAURUS 


AND 


A  KEY  TO  PRONUNCIATION 


HOW  TO   USE  THE  THESAURUS. 

To  the  vast  majority,  the  use  of  this  Thesaurus  Dictionary  of  the  English  Language  presents  no  more- 
difficulties,  for  lack  of  understanding  the  plan  adopted,  than  does  any  dictionary;  but  as  its  purpose  is  not 
limited  to  defining  words,  its  wider  sphere  and  usefulness  being  to  suggest  particular  words  or  phrases  as 
they  may  be  required  to  definitely  express  a  given  idea,  a  brief  explanation  of  how  its  fullest  benefits  may 
be  obtained  is  appropriate. 

All  vocabulary  words  are  printed  in  brevier  black  face  type;  all  definitions  thereof  appear  in  brevier 
lower  case  Roman.  The  reference  words  are  printed  in  brevier  small  caps,  under  which  heads  the  person 
consulting  the  dictionary  must  look  to  find  any  particular  word  desired.  Thus,  for  example,  take  any  word 
in  the  vocabulary,  there  will  be  found  immediately  following  the  definition,  words  printed  in  small  caps, 
which  are  the  reference  words.  These  words  must  be  looked  up  in  their  alphabetical  position  in  the  vocabulary, 
and  under  them  will  be  found  groups  containing  the  word  examined  and  words  of  related  significance  Phrases 
and  idioms  are  printed  in  black  face  type;  foreign  phrases  appear  in  brevier  italics,  and  their  phonetic  pronun- 
ciation, in  parentheses,  are  in  brevier  lower  case  Roman.  The  foreign  languages  are  indicated  thus  [F.L 
meaning  French;  [It.],  Italian;  [G.],  German;  [Sp.],  Spanish;  [L.],  Latin;  [Gr.],  Greek.  Those  translations  which 
appear  in  the  vocabulary  proper  are  printed  in  brevier  lower  case  Roman.  Captions,  to  which  the  references 
direct,  appear  in  capital  letters,  with  positive  and  negative  terms  compounded,  under  which  appear  all  asso- 
ciated words,  printed  in  nonpareil  black  face  type,  and  the  definitions  in  nonpareil  lower  case  Roman.  The 
analysis  of  words,  and  their  grammatical  relationships,  are  printed  under  in  nonpareil  small  caps.  Captions, 
denoting  parts  of  speech  and  their  relationship,  are  in  italics.  By  observing  these  explanations  no  difficulty 
will  ever  be  encountered  in  using  the  Thesaurus,  or  in  obtaining  the  information  which  it  is  intended  to  supply. 

THIS  LINE  IS  CAPITAL  LETTERS,  USED  IN  CAPTIONS. 

This  line  is  brevier  small  caps.     (Used  for  reference  words.) 

This  line  is  brevier  lower  case  Roman.     (Used  for  definitions.) 

This  line  is  brevier  black  face  type.     (Used  for  vocabulary  words.) 

This  line  is  nonpareil  small  caps.    (For  captions  of  synonyms.) 

This  line  is  nonpareil  lower  case  Roman.     (For  definitions  of  synonyms  ) 

This  line  is  italics.      (For  foreign  words  and  grammatical  designations  ) 

This  line  is  nonpareil  black  face  type.     (For  associated  words.)  » 

Two  words  used  with  hyphen  are  compounded. 


A   KEY  TO   PRONUNCIATION. 

The  English  words  printed  in  this  Thesaurus  are  easily  pronounced  by  any  one  giving  attention  to  the  accent- 
marks  at  the  end  of  syllables.  The  single  accent  mark — -thus,  ' — indicates  the  primary  inflection,  or  the  syllable 
upon  which  the  greater  stress  must  be  laid.  The  double  accent  mark — thus,  " — -shows  the  secondary  inflection, 
directing  that  some  stress  shall  be  laid,  but  less  than  that  indicated  by  the  primary  accent. 

The  pronunciation  of  all  foreign  phrases  is  found  in  parentheses  following.  Note  well  these  indications. 
Wherever  the  phonetic  a  is  found,  it  is  to  be  pronounced  as  in  sofa,  partake;  where  the  phonetic  v  occurs, 
it  indicates  such  a  sound  as  u  in  cup.  The  diphthong  ai  is  sounded  as  ai  in  aisle  and  i  in  pz'ne;  au  as  ou  in  the 
word  howse.  When  iu  appears,  it  equals  the  sound  in  mute.  The  phonetic  letter  H  equals  the  German  sound 
in  the  word  ach;  the  inverted  period  placed  beside  the  letter  n,  in  any  French  word,  gives  it  a  broad,  nasal 
sound.  Thus,  bon'  is  pronounced  somewhat  like  ong,  in  song,  except  that  the  g  is  silent;  zh  should  generally  be 
sounded  as  an  aspirate,  as  g  in  mirage  (mirazh'). 

Respellings  for  pronunciation  have  been  given  for  all  foreign  words  and  phrases  at  their  vocabulary  places 
in  this  dictionary. 

The  Latin  words  have  been  pronounced  according  to  the  English  method. 

English  words  have  been  divided  into  syllables  and  the  accented  syllables  marked. 

In  the  respellings  the  ordinary  Roman  types  have  been  used  so  far  as  possible. 

Instead  of  using  diacritics  for  peculiar  sounds  of  a  and  u,  the  standard  types  of  the  American  Philological' 
Association  have  been  adopted. 

The  letters  b,  d,  f,  h.  j,  k,  1,  m,  n,  o,  p,  q,  r,  t,  v,  w,  have  been  used  with  their  ordinary  normal  values. 

The  following  letters  have  been  used  with  values  as  indicated :
